NA-OR Advanced Integrated Soldier System "Sees" Through eMagin OLED Displays

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., and RISHON-LEZION, Israel — eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), the leading manufacturer of active matrix OLED-on-silicon displays, will provide its award-winning SVGA microdisplay for the Advanced Integrated Soldier System (AISS) being developed by NA-OR, a subsidiary of International Technologies Lasers, Ltd. (TASE: LASERS).

The AISS has been designed to significantly enhance combat and control capabilities of the infantry in both urban and open-terrain environments. The system considerably improves navigation and situational awareness capabilities, enables target identification and acquisition, facilitates bi-directional communication of data, and provides the means for real-time distinction between friendly and enemy forces. All the visual interfaces to the user in the AISS system feature eMagin's OLED displays. The system has already been presented to potential customers and is currently being evaluated by the IDF.

"We are assembling a strong candidate system for the Israeli army," said Giora Kutz, Managing Director, NA-OR. "We believe it to be the strongest. Key to our success is ensuring that the soldier in the field has ready access to the information he needs. eMagin's sophisticated OLED displays are immediately responsive, bright and easy on the eye during extended use. And they've proven rugged enough to withstand harsh environments."

"Programs like the AISS truly stretch all the components of Information Technology," said Susan Jones, chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "And each part has to deliver - for mission success and for the safety of the individual soldier. The AISS represents a strong integration of excellent components. It's a tribute that they chose our displays for such an elegant solution."

NA-OR will be exhibiting its AISS equipment in booth 14 at Soldier Technology 2004 from Monday, June 21, through Wednesday, June 23, in Brussels, Belgium. The company also showed the AISS equipment at Eurosatory 2004 in Paris-Nord, Villepinte, France, last week.
